and his lovely wife Laura on the arrival of Phoebe Lucille Cattell. Phoebe weighed in at 6lb 11oz so probably a future three quarter (like Dad). We all wish you a long and happy life.
Congratulations to Captain

FT whistle blows 10-10 Have to say I know it’s only a draw but that is a fantastic result for us. Up against that wind & that pack for a full 40 mins & to ship only 7 points through a PT is outstanding 2 very well earned points
Congratulations to the

U14s first aiders, named in Rugby Post, who last week helped save the life of a nearby football spectator, suffering a heart attack. If ever evidence was needed of the value of the training available through the Club, this was surely it!

Breathtaking finish with Dan Cole kicking penalty from just inside DMP half to seal a 1 point win, after the home side had stolen the lead either a converted try from a 5 m lineout barely 5 mins. before. Final score 24-25 for a 5 point victory. COYBs!
